AN ATHLETE AND A SCHOLAR
Derrick Rowland ’20
"Receiving a scholarship from Coach meant more to me than he might have known at the time. I had been working my whole life to get to where I am now, and his support showed me that if I continue to push myself in everything I do, I will be rewarded. Now I have a new sense of home and of family. My teammates and I have bonds that can’t be broken."Derrick Rowland ’20
